CAS 1113-83-3: Glycolylneuraminic acid
Description:Glycolylneuraminic acid, also known as Neu5Gc, is a sialic acid derivative that plays a significant role in cellular interactions and biological processes. It is characterized by its nine-carbon backbone, which includes a carboxylic acid group and a hydroxyl group, contributing to its acidic properties. This compound is commonly found in various mammalian tissues and is involved in cell recognition, signaling, and immune responses. Glycolylneuraminic acid is notable for its role in the structure of glycoproteins and glycolipids, influencing cellular adhesion and pathogen interactions. Its presence in human tissues is limited due to the lack of the enzyme required for its synthesis, leading to its accumulation in certain diseases and conditions. The compound is also of interest in biomedical research, particularly in the context of cancer and inflammation, as it may serve as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target. Overall, glycolylneuraminic acid is a complex molecule with important implications in biochemistry and medicine.
